Growing up Olivia, Ethos Loving The Northland has been a lot of fun for sure! Who knew what I would become and how I would turn out? In four years I went from Ethos Loving The Northland to Ethos Loving The Northland SWM SWD RATO FCAT2 TKN CGC ELT-CH L1C L2E L2V L3I!
This is me the day I was born, the one with the spot on the top of her head, with my other siblings, eight of us all together. Obviously, I have changed a lot since that day in 2019.
I’ve become a long and lanky girl, built to run, and run fast. When I look at myself at nine weeks old, I would never have imagined I would look like I do now! What a plump little girl I was. I do still have my jumbo pillow paws, and Mom says, the same expressions.
At six months, I had sprouted up and thinned out. My fur colors had also changed somewhat. I do look more like I do now at six months old.
When I was seven months old, Mom took me and Madison on my first road trip to Iowa for AKC Scent Work. My first hotel stay was a lot of fun. I loved playing around on the bed. Mom says I was quite naughty, howling and barking at lots of noises in the night and I kept unpacking her suitcase. It is all a learning experience which is best started young.
Suddenly I turned a year old. Mom took me out alone for photos and I learned to wear these silly party hats. It seems I was a pretty good model by then.
At two, I realized we do a photo shoot for birthdays every year. It was a different spot from the year before.
I turned three, and three was probably my most important year. I earned lots of important and big titles and we traveled our furry behinds off.
Last year I turned four and four has been a quieter year for me. It was a good year, but nothing really exciting or remarkable happened. Monday I will turn five, wow! Growing up Olivia has been the best. There isn’t much I would change. My life is full of love, fun, and opportunity. I may focus on some other things this year, but we will see how it all goes. For sure I am super thankful for the life I have!

You are sure one very titled girl, Olivia, and you are such a cutie!
Thank you. I feel the need for some more titles and ribbons so hopefully that will happen while I am five.
Olivia happy 4th and OMDs I don’t know how Mom determines what will be your color but you are lovely in Orange. I love that pile of puppy love at the beginning
I hope Mom’s arm is doing a OK

Mom likes bright colors and then just kind of sees what colors go well for boys or girls and with our furs. I’m a fall she says, so orange is perfect for me. Madison is our girly girl, so she is bright pink. Nelson looks good in lime and it works well for a boy. Blue would be too boring she said. Olivia got purple because when she started sports, there were only a few colors to choose from. Emma chose red, so that meant purple for Bails and she is happy with it.
From the beginning, you’ve been a total cutie, Olivia. Best wishes on your birthday week!
Thank you.
You have a perfect life, perfect siblings and a perfect mom
Nothing is perfect, but I have a pretty good life and I am a lucky girl. We are all lucky to have a good family.
I’m sure glad you have longer legs and big paws! How else would you carry all those titles in your name??? YOU, are a real cutie patootie, Olivia!
Awww, thank you. Mom says I have a sweet face and beautiful amber eyes.
You sure have gone from cute to beautiful over the years Olivia!

Funny how we change as we age, similar to humans I guess.
Wow, what accomplishments you have achieved! Life is Grand, and you are enjoying it to the fullest.
I do try to squeeze in as much as I can in my life. Being busy and a go getter is my thing.
Oh Olivia ~ you are a delightful five year old with a wonderful life ~ sweet post and photos ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
